John Wayne Pioneer Trail name could change
Tue., April 17, 2018
Two popular cross-state trails may be renamed. The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is considering consolidating and changing the names of the Iron Horse State Park Trail and the John Wayne Pioneer Trail.
The department is asking for public comment. The two trails are technically one trail, according to a department news release. The eastern portion, from the Columbia River to the Idaho border, is known as the John Wayne Pioneer Trail.
“Determining one name for the trail will help eliminate confusion,” said Randy Kline, Statewide Trails Coordinator, in a news release.
Park’s staff have recommended several names.

The deadline for comments is 5 p.m. on May 4.
